Hi, my name is Charlie Griffin and for Season 2016 I will be coaching the Under 12's.
For those that don't know me this is my first year coaching a junior football team. Over the past 4 years I have been assistant coach to PJ with the Under 13's and 14's and then the last 2 years with Steve Bickley and the Under 15's and 17's. Previous to this and some years ago I also coached Auskick. I have definitely learnt a lot from PJ and Steve who are both great coaches and I believe it is a huge honour to have the privilege of coaching your child.
I am married to Tracey with 3 children Josh, Declan and Sara. Dec has played at the club for some time and is now with the 17's. Dec will also be at training to help our team out with skills practice.
My day job is Head of Safety and Wellbeing at Coles Express and I am absolutely passionate about the wellbeing and safety of people, this will be an important priority with your child.
I grew up in Horsham and played my most of my football career at Horsham in the Wimmera League and at Taylor's Lake in the Horsham District League and of course I have to mention that I am extremely passionate Western Bulldog supporter, despite never seeing us win a flag.
But of course winning is not always everything, it's about developing our kids to the best of their potential and having fun along the way....this is what my coaching philosophy and attitude is all about.
So this year we will continue to develop the skills of our team and work on the basics, continuing on with the great work that Steve Tuohey has done. It is extremely important to keep the kids enjoying what they are doing and I believe if the kids as a team do most things right and we work hard in these areas the scoreboard will look after itself.
Knox Falcons is a great football club that supports both parents and players alike, so if you know of any kids that are interested in making some friends and having some fun then please ask them to come down.
Go Falcons!
